Just curious, is there a cap on how much data can be in writeback at
the same time?
I'm asking because I have over a gigabyte of data in dirty, but
during flush, only about 60k or so is in writeback at any one time.
Only a gigabyte?

Is there some sort of mechanism that throttles the size of the writeback pool?
There's a lot of tunables in /proc/sys/vm - everything from drop_caches
to swappiness to vfs_cache_pressure. Note that they all interact in mystical

The idea is, mount both filesystems together, and make write/read
operations go on this way
Read operations:
1. See if data is already on dest fs,
2. If is then read data and bright back to caller (lets call this
cold read)

Now I think this will spend more time than the kernel code when executed.
Have you actually examined the generated code on several popular

Is there any way i could read the reason for reboot.
I want to read it so that i can get the reason that is stored.
like 0xABADBABE is watchdog 0xCODEDEAD is panic. Etc..
Please suggest an alternative approach.

Thanks a lot Vlad. This explains it.

Any reason you can't just 'rsync /source-fs /dest-fs'?
because I can't use dest-fs while rsynching
Sure you can. You just have to remember to pay attention to race
conditions - if you create foo/bar.dat on the dest and then rsync

const is the the object they point to, not the pointers themselves
(that would be
void * const cs).
memcmp compares bytes at which cs and ct point, but these are void pointers,
and the expression res = *cs - *ct is thus meaningless.

This is your init routine...

Missing KERN_DEBUG or similar here. This can cause it to fail
